Review: Witch King by Martha Wells

Posted on May 23, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I’ve been a fan of Martha Wells for quite some time. One of the things I love the most about her writing would have to be her expansive worlds. The second thing I love about her work? Just how unique and creative each world she creates is. Continue reading →

Review: The Scourge Between Stars by Ness Brown

Posted on May 8, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Holy cow. They were NOT kidding when they called The Scourge Between Stars a claustrophobic horror novella. It’s dark, gritty, and very much not afraid to show us how vulnerable human beings are. Continue reading →

Review: A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

Posted on May 1, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Man, does T. Kingfisher know how to create the perfect setting for a horror story. You’d think something as banal as a home in a small neighborhood wouldn’t be so creepy. But when it’s done right… I’m trying to say that A House with Good Bones is a must-read for all paranormal and horror fans. Continue reading →

Review: Piñata by Leopoldo Gout

Posted on April 18, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Yikes! Piñata is one heck of a read, guys. It’s dark and thrilling yet painfully grounded in history. Leopoldo Gout did a brilliant job of tying supernatural horror with the horror that stems from humanity, weaving the two together until you cannot tell where one begins and the other ends.

Review: Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk

Posted on March 30, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Wow. I knew that C.L. Polk could write a fantastic novella, but Even Though I Knew the End blew me away. I could read this novella a million times and never risk getting sick. It’s so complex and beautiful. I’m certain I would find new details with each reading. (Now I want to go back and do exactly that). Continue reading →
